PHP Fatal error: Class 'HttpRequest' not f

Question

I was wondering how I can't get rid of this error. I have a PHP 5.3 running on a Windows Server.

In one of my file, I need to do a HttpRequest. The problem is that I need a specific *.dll (pecl_http.dll) that I can't find. Is there another way to do this, or has someone this *.dll for PHP 5.3 ?

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

install (or reinstall) the package

$ pecl install -f pecl_http-1.7.6

or use curl - this is a working snippet

Answer 2

If you look down the list here: http://downloads.php.net/pierre/ you'll see 4 versions of php_http. The 4 versions are all options of 'non-thread-safe' and 'thread-safe' (filename shows 'nts' or nothing), and VC6 or VC9.

To see if you need vc6 or vc9, load up phpinfo, and look at 'Compiler' near the top. A bit further down, you'll see 'Thread Safety' if this is enabled, go for the one that doesn't say 'nts'.
